looking ON Fourth street Went to his room
that night Mt 1876 o'clock; was preparing
for bed when shot was heard; went to the

proved almost as drawing q card Saturday
as at The last trial Of Arensdorf, though his
evidence did not materially differ from
that given previously. AL day long
tho courthouse was thIonged His
cross-eSamination, which was thor
.ough and exacting, began at the open
ing hour and only terminated with the adj
journment OF court The defense laid its
foundation for impeaching his evidence In
doing SO it was particularly noticeable that
they also sought something to establish the
feet that the crowd that went to!the Column
bia House corner the night of August 8,
1866, did not contemplate severe
personal injury to Rev Haddock;
that they had arranged no plans but leisure
" walked west from Junk's saloon until on
the corner of Fourth and Water streets they
met the minister; that one Of their num-
Der was assaulted by Haddock, who struck
him upon the head and shoulder with
the iron that the minister had fashioned
Into a billy, and which was found
not far from his remains The purpose Of
this was apparently to modify the action Of
the jury in case q verdict Of guilty is
reached The State lawyers evidently do
not care as to the impeachment OF the di-
rect testimony, relying for their strength
upon corroboratfve evidence.
Leavitt has acknowledged that he had
been promised immunity by the Governor
in case he told the truth. The defense will
endeavor to show that he is conveniently
located near the Canadian line so that he
can leave this country if necessary This
week promises some very material, though
not sensational, developments
